Sicily: still cold, hailstorms, strong winds and snow in the high hills

As expected, the expected winter worsening arrived on time in our region. Today was very unstable, at times even disturbed especially in northern Tyrrhenian Sicily, primarily Palermo and Messina with daily rainfall accumulations locally even beyond 60/70mm. But there was no shortage of rain in the rest of the island either, with scattered thunderstorms and precipitation mainly in the form of hail which at times affected a good part of the region. Given the drop in temperatures, the snow did not take long to arrive, locally reaching high hill levels, such as for example Nebrodi, Madonie ed Interrupted.

Even in the next few hours the situation will show no signs of improving, with mainly hail precipitation which will hit the northern Tyrrhenian coasts of the island from the Tyrrhenian Sea, and then gradually move towards the inland areas. Such rainfall during today, i.e December 24, 2024will take on a snowy character starting from the high hills, i.e. around 600m in some areas, especially the internal ones and the mountainous sectors of Madonie, Nebrodi and northern Eteneo. Snowfall is also expected in the mountains around Palermo 700/800m altitude and on the Sicani mountains. We remind you that these are indicative figures, as we are not talking about accumulations on the ground but about altitudes where snowfall should make its appearance. The ventilation will be moderate this time from the north, while the seas will still be very rough or locally rough.
